The Winter of Perestroika
As crises mount for President
Gorbachev, what about the Russians - the people who will ultimately determine the fate of his revolution?
Panorama has spent a month of the Russian winter in Leningrad where, as Gavin Hewitt reports, the people are increasingly disillusioned with reform, or perestroika.
Passports are now required to buy food; organised crime flourishes and anti-semitism is re-emerging.
Politically the city is split. While the hardline
Communist leadership in Leningrad calls for a return to order, reformers are demanding a multi -party system.
For President Gorbachev the Russian winter blows cold. Producer JENNY CLAYTON Editor TIM GARDAM
